In 1961 The Soviet Union and The United States each sent a white man into space. 42 years later China Joined the technological age by sending its first “person” into orbit. This month Canada launched its first spaceman into the final frontier.

Unfortunately Canadian technology isn’t what it should be thanks to socialism, universal healthcare, and a few unlucky beaver dam failures.
Canada, in desperation, launched a Lego man (not made in Canada) into space.

Sadly, this Lego man is not quite a spaceman, yet. According to UniverseToday, NASA considers people to be astronauts once they’ve traveled higher than 80 km (50 miles), so this little guy has quite a ways to go before he gets any calls from NASA. Still, he’s more of an astronaut than the rest of Canada

“This month Canada launched its first spaceman into the final frontier.” That is a lie. A complete lie. There is a list of Canadian astronauts, readily available on various sites, that have gone into space. http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronauts/missions.asp list from the Canadian Space Agency of their involvement in various missions. Admittedly not part of a Canadian only space mission but very few space missions are in fact one nation ventures, haven’t been for ages.

Also as for that video it is some guys mucking about with a camera a lego man and a balloon. Hardly an official mission of any sort.

Did I say there was a solely Canadian manned space mission? NO. I was correcting what August said about there NEVER being such thing as a Canadian astronaut because it is a lie. Read what I actually put before the snarky reply.

As for hitching a lift. Well done for picking a project involving multiple countries from all around the globe, many with the capability to send people into space, and stating that you were being kind. Probably best you avoid comparing international projects to giving a few Canadians a lift.

Speaking as a native of the Greatest Nation on Earth (the United States) who happens to find himself living in Canada, I can attest that Canucks are filled with a silly sense of national pride. When I talk about glorious American achievements like being the first humans to land on the Moon, they are quick to bring up the “Canadian Arm” that was on the AMERICAN space shuttle. That’s the best they’ve got.

And you know what that represented?!? Canadians being servants! They were the arm that was doing what Americans ordered. Like a butler. And they’re proud of that!

When I toss that back in their frostbitten faces, they get all huffy, but they don’t try to throw a punch or high-stick me or anything. Because I’m American. That scares people up here. We’re known to carry guns. I’m no Susan B. Xenu when it comes to whipping out the weaponry, but hey, it never hurts to have the malicious mystery working for ya…

Its clear to me that reason only America has been able to launch shuttles out of our orbit and into the stars is because those brave astronauts are being lifted by Angels to the heavens because we are for the most part a God fearing people and his blessings have been raining down us continuously through our history, its not surprise to me that the Godless heathens in the rest of the world cannot make it into space.

How the Russians got there is beyond me, they surely must have made some foul pact with the Devil decades ago.

I dont know if youve been stuck tooling around in the desert fighting Afghanis in your little Spetznaz tank for the last 25 years but the Soviet Union fell 20 years ago, theres no need to insult such a pathetic failure.

He never said anything about the Soviet Union in that post. The Soviet Union was the first nation in the world to reach space. In fact to quote one of the Cosmonauts, Yuri Gagarin, “I don’t see any God up here.”

Please child, your not telling us any thing we did not learn years ago.

I dont understand why children will learn something in school and then a week later start trying to correct people who are far older than them and have already known these things for years.

The way you come out and spout your little facts like its the first time people have heard that the Soviets had the first manned space flight is insulting coming from anyone, much less a 17 year old boy who has a hell of a lot left to learn in life.

I know he did not say “We the Soviet Union” in his post ass hat nitpicking man child, his username is Anonymous-Soviet Union, he has a post in another article about his supposed exploits in Afghanistan fighting for the Soviet Union where you were practically drooling on yourself at the thought of his “Spetznaz” Sin stick being put in your sin hole, and he said “We(the Soviet Union) sent the first man into space”.

Im going to step out of character here and say that dude, you really are a fucking idiot. You try way too damn hard to sound smart and try to correct people on the smallest pissant “mistakes” you can find, but you cant even get that shit right most of the time. Stupid boy focus on your damn homework,spend a few years reading books outside of school,pay attention to politics, and get some fucking life experience outside of the bubble your parents keep you in and then come back and well see if youve learned some things about the world that we dont know.

Ahhhhh there’s that true character that he’s
been hiding, I was amused by the attempted civilise manner in which you carried on Lazar, but then all of a sudden you burst forward in a fit of obscenities and insults simply from the fact you were outsmarted and proven wrong.
Being the typical self righteous person you are you couldn’t accept that you just got owned and attempted to counter that by flailing your arms in anger and frustration.
Pathetic little man.

Loser, you’re nothing but a hypocritical Sinner, much like the rest of Cultwire. Maybe if you stopped drinking yourself into a stupor and got some helped, you’d realize that you’re nothing but a horrible person, promoting hate and murder alongside the rest of Cultwire.

Yes, and we thank you for claiming an entity (I.E. the Internet) that cannot be claimed, as your property. You are a moron who needs to learn more about his “Character” and spend less time drinking Malt Liquor with Billy Dee Williams in Seattle!!!

Obviously they do, Guy, as you seem to take every article here as “serious”. The truly hilarious part is seeing people spending so much time and energy hunched over their keyboards, foaming at the mouth, rebutting the “articles” instead of using critical thinking and figuring out the joke… which is, evidently on, every one of the numbskulls who haven’t figured out the joke.

Because knowing your sick, pathetic life, you’d whack off to whatever picture you can find of guys. You can’t bring yourself to look at porn, so you’ll opt to either fap to pictures of guys you see online or rape children.
